[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro (Spoken)]

Make a wish
Count to three
[Verse 1]

Explanation
[Chorus]
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
[Instrumental Bridge]

Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
